i have a sony vaio laptop with two wd external hard drives, both full with .avi films (around 700mb) and .mkv hd films (around 4.4 gb) some 720p and some 1080p
i also have a samsung 32" hdtv which i have connected to my laptop via vga to vga, as my laptop does not have dvi.
i was wondering how much quality i am loosing this way? is there any settings i can change to improve this?
my laptop screens resolution is 1080x800 and sometimes the hd films look better on this?
also is there a way to burn the mkv files onto disc so i can play them on my new phillips dvp5960 as it will not work via usb?
i know alot of questions there but thanks for any time you take to reply.

It's difficult to compare a computer monitor (Laptop screen) to a TV screen. They use quite different methods of display. There may be some 'tweaks', but I don't know of any. Others may, though.
And just going to the larger display may change the characteristics of the video displayed. The only 'rule of thumb' I know is to always try to use the native resolution of any display.
I doubt any set top player will display MKV, AFAIK. You can convert it, but then you will have quality loss. -
This may sound stupid, but 700 mb of AVI is maybe 5 minutes of video..
And your external drive is FULL???????????
AVI is about 13 GIG for an hour of video...
HD-AVI about the same (give or take some) -
